One of my fondest memories from childhood is hearing my mother howling with laughter at the I Love Lucy show. Now she's laughing with Lucy in heaven. Very nice vid and thanks for the memories.
+sjtom57 That's a very sweet memory you have work your mother and Lucy...Lucy was just a few years before I was born but it was playing still when I was born and my mother would prop me up just so I could watch I love lucy cause it was the only thing that would keep me quiet...lol
I remember these shows as a child when I thought life was eternal. Now I'm 57 and I realize life is fleeting and so short from a physical point of view. Thanks for the insight on these wonderful creative people Jerry. For awhile, some of us will not forget.
I lived near Jamestown NY and actually she lived in Celeron NY just a short distance from Jamestown. Her grandparents house is still there. Jamestown has a Lucy Day every year and a Museum.
Dear Jerry, I reiterate what Micahel Zukerman said below...I still watch the "I Love Lucy" show today.. it's on "Comedy Gold" a channel my cable provider offers at a small extra cost.. and it's worth it! You cannot find good clean entertainment on tv anymore...and I will always love and appreciate all of these people in the show.. they have brought me laughter and tears and enjoyment for mot of my life... thank you so much for all of these videos.. I used to watch most of them when I was a very young girl.. I wish many of them were still available. God bless :)
I absolutely LOVE...I LOVE LUCY!!! It is the GREATEST sitcom of all time!!! She and Desi Arnaz were amazing together!!! I love Vivian Vance and William Frawley too!!! They were truly The Fabulous Foursome!!!!! Thank you so much for this incredible documentary.
Love the details that you share with us and your whole production. As a child of the 50's, I grew up watching I Love Lucy for so many years. Loved it then and still love it today. If, by chance, I pass by a TV with an old episode on, I have to stop and watch and the smile on my face will match the smile on my heart every time. The show was as much a part of my growing up life, as my family. And when Lucy died, I remember so well the sadness I felt, as if a member of my own family passed. She felt like a member of my family. And what a great foursome they all were together. I hope they all know, wherever they are, the joy they brought into the hearts of so many. And thank God, for film, for it remains a gift of life for all of us... as it brings back to life all the grand people of the past. And thank you for your gift to us in this terrific "remember when"! Jim Morrocco
Thanks esp to Desi who insisted the show be on film in front of a live audience - created the re-runs.Thank you Desi loved all four of you on the original I Love Lucy in 1951 and still watching to date in 2022.
I loved this show so much as a child I had to watch it before bed or in the summer there where marathons all through out my adolescent. I named my first born son Desiderio after Desi. It's timeless classic comedy, I was watching these episodes on Nick at Nite In the early 90's and the comedy was just as funny and fresh as if it was live. I didn't know it had been taped decades before my time. I still have multiple Dvd's I watch and I never get tired of watching the show..Thanks for the upload
I remember exactly where I was when I heard that Lucy passed away. An escalator in NYC on a group outing with my coworkers. I still record I Love Lucy and watch it while getting ready for work. It starts my day off with a laugh and a smile.
The only time I know exactly what I was doing and where I was when JFK was killed. I loved him so much and I love Lucille Ball so much - still cry when I think about the President's death and with Lucille Ball now, I feel grateful to her for the laughter and joy she brought to all of us.
DesiLu also produced a little show that no one wanted called "Star Trek." They produced a lot of stuff that no one else would touch. Not only phenomenal talents they were visionaries.
Hey jerry, always enjoy your programs...will send more i am on SSI and this is the best I can do for now friend. Your youtube programs on the stars are wonderful and although im a guy they sometimes bring tears thinking about my childhood and watching these great people that you showcase, I sincerely thank you for bringing back such good memories!
This is the most awesome story I’ve seen of them. You did a outstanding job for us to watch & understand Lucy & Desi, thank you so much. I’m in CA. & always get up @ 5:00 am to watch 6 episodes of I LOVE LUCY, i never get tired of them & never will. God bless them🥰
I was doing work at Hollywood Blvd and Gower. I looked down and almost jumped out of my work boots. I was standing on top of Lucy's star! It was like standing on her grave or something. Thanks for the great info! My Mom always said Lucy kept her company in the 60's when she was home with 6 kids.
I always loved her in I Love Lucy. My friends thought I was weird for watching a black and white sitcom, but it reminds me of my grandparents and gives me a warm feeling to see those old shows, especially Lucy. I didn't realize how beautiful she was until I got older.
I think that's the hallmark of a great comedic actress when they will let themselves look ridiculous. Carol Burnett and Chloris Leachman did the same thing.
i love Lucy tge est show ever my adult daughters love the show. we all do i grew up w I Love Lucy. I loved her her hair my mom told me to comb my hair down i was a sight. the tidey apatment i liked better w a front window. the mertsy s great too
Thankyou very much for your superb documentaries I love them. Lucy was a complete one off,and was immensely popular here in the UK when I was a kid in the sixties her story is absolutely fascinating. What a beauty and what an amazing talent she was,and her and Desi despite their ups and downs were made for each other.
Thanks for posting this, it was great memorabilia and much information I was not aware of. Sure miss actors, actresses, and characters like these four. Those really 'were the days' ...
Jerry, Sir, I am not sure how I've been so fortunate to stumble upon your video content but I am so very glad that I have. I love your narration and the time you've invested into your videos is very obvious, thank you so very much for your hard work!
Happy new year, Jerry ! I loved this. I had known about the Vance/Frawley feuds, and I knew about the I Love Lucy, not being just the title of the show. You see, he never had gotten over Lucy nor she , him. But they knew it could never work, and for the benefit of the kids, they divorced. Now, they are together in heaven. Makes me smile. Thank you ,Jerry, for another great production. :)
I very much agree with Doreen, this was a joy to watch! Thank you Mr. Skinner for opening the door to the cast of "I Love Lucy". I appreciate all your hard work.
Astonishing photographs in each and every video Jerry!!! And now that you mentioned it in this video, shall we see "What happened to "The Untouchables" cast?", in the near future? We´re eager for that.
magnificient actresses/actors, producers, writers, the whole team of behind the scenes people, just an almost flawless show. thank you I Love Lucy Producing Team for such a great program
I Love Lucy is my all-time favorite show. This is a really fabulous documentary - so informative and well put together. I think any criticisms in the comments section is because we have become accustomed to everything being so fast -paced in terms of the action and the narration. This was a refreshing change. I am eager to check out more of your work, Jerry.
I enjoyed this so much, Jerry. Your pace is on target and music/photos/info just right. And your voice, soothing. I often wondered about all of this. Thank you, again~ Happy New Year!
Judgmental much? (Yes, it's a great documentary... maybe some people weren't expecting a documentary but what the title announced: what happened to the cast. Most of the near-24 minutes is spent on documentary (history), not what became of them.) Live and let live. Your comment was rude.
When you watch a Skinner video you get nothing but top rate stuff as all ways great video Jerry . Think about doing another great from them days and lets see a wild west tv show Gunsmoke or Bonanza one you could do them justice.
Your videos are always well researched and fascinating Jerry but you've surpassed yourself with this gem. I recall as a child my parents watching various Lucy shows. I think that she was a groundbreaker in terms of American comedy crossing to Britain. Happy New Year Jerry.
thank you jerry. i must say i knew a lot of this.. but your details filled in all the blanks... Lucy is/was old enough to be my grandmother... i was always fascinated with her, because i saw a color photo of her when i was young... i was secretly in love with her from that point on... i still measure all my gals (in a way) to Lucy and the recently departed Maureen O'Hara.... well lets just say the good Lord don't build them that way anymore...thanks again Jerry for all you do.
I am GLAD I watched "this" version. By far the best narration, I bet you are a pro or can easily take up the task. therefore, I subbed. Thank you Mr. Skinner.
This was a very lovely video. Thank you Mr Skinner for creating such a loving tribute to America’s favorite 4some. I thoroughly enjoyed this & learned so much.
Wonderful video Jerry! I've always liked the show, and my youngest daughter is an I Love Lucy nut. Knows all the dialogue from all the shows since she was little. Can't wait till she sees this. Thank you again for ALL your terrific videos. Take good care, Kris
The early years of The Lucy Show were amazing, especially season 1. I liked the idea of Lucy playing a widowed mother, with Viv as her roommate, also a mother but divorced. Desi was executive producer for the first half of it, and it was his idea that they do the series. It would've looked bad if he guest starred as one of Lucy Carmichael's ex boyfriends or something. Off camera however, Miss Ball was very stressed and uptight because she was starring on a new hit series and running Desilu Studios at the same time. Anyone would be under a ton of stress. She was the most powerful woman in Hollywood back then. But she still made us laugh! Thats all she wanted.
Star Trek …. Great show.it’s a shame the stars are all starting to age as I am. I still watch as least 5 shows a week. It doesn’t get any better. Rest in. Peace to the few we have left. Thank you for all the great moment
Those first 2-3 seasons also had the same writers as I Love Lucy. Lucy & Viv were fantastic together, of course. I loved the premise. They were Kate & Allie 25 years before Kate & Allie. I didn't think the show was nearly as funny in S4-S6, when Lucy moved to L.A. & worked as Mr. Mooney's secretary & lived in an apartment. Viv was gone, the kids were gone, & the writers were gone. It was an entirely different show.
MR. JERRY SKINNER, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VERY INFORMATIVE POST. I MUST ALSO, COMMEND YOU ON YOUR RESEARCH. AS, WELL AS ON YOUR PHOTO ARCHIVAL COLLECTION, AWESOME JOB!!
This is an amazing! So much information. You must have done a lot of research, or maybe you're a super fan. Either way great job! I love, I love Lucy. 🤗
I probably wrote this already on another comment, but I only really got into Lucy last year after I started watching Mission: Impossible, and found out she green lit the project, and Star Trek, even though both shows were making a huge financial loss, she kept those going for many seasons. After finding out that she made these shows possible, I went back and watched many of her wonderful screwy B&W movies, and found so much fun in those that I kept watching them. I think I heard she was good friends with Ginger Rogers, and they were in the same acting school, and became friends. Dont know if I remember this correctly but it would account for their similar comedy timing and funny faces. I've never seen one episode of I Love Lucy, but yes she pioneered the camera and studio techniques that TV shows use to this day. What a marvelous lady! Thank you for this timely documentary and insight into the lives of all those who made this happen. It seems her impact on Television is second only to Hedy Lamarr, who invented mobile technology, GPS and WiFi.
I enjoyed this video so much!!! My dad use to call me " Parner" as well. My Father was a Thoughorbred Jockey in the tos and rode horses of Desi's. " Laughter". Thank you again.
Jerry you have a beautiful voice, but I have a question, are you going to do one on the 70's show "Good Times"? My reasoning, is because the cast of that show is very unique, in that everybody from that cast except Ester Rolle is amazingly STILL alive. No other show from that long ago can say that. From John Amos, Jimmie Walker, Janet Dubois, Janet Jackson, the janitor(I forget his real name), and even the woman that played Janet Jackson's abusive mother that daughter later in life became a famous actress herself. Seems nobody has done a story on such a unique TV show where the entire cast is still alive from so very long ago....
Thank you for this beautiful biography, I love her to this day and celebrate her birthday every year . I cried when she passed because she brought so much love and happiness to so many people. . God bless you for this I am sure she would be so proud of it .
Star Trek was developed at Desilu Studios before Paramont bought Desilu. Keith Treudau played Ricky Ricardo Jr before Desi and Lucys son took over. Treudau went on to play in the rock band David And The Giants.
Again, just a great job Mr. Skinner! You were made for this type of needed entertainment! Your voice, your skills, your aspiration makes you a great nonfiction storyteller.
Lucy and Ricky were wonderful and so funny. Fred and Ethel hated each other in real life. In fact, their hatred is legendary. However, they clicked on screen. Anyway, we all know where the cast is now, but they will live forever in our hearts. God bless them.
+George Vreeland Hill I've always heard that Lucy & Desi planned one of the first spin-offs in TV history, starring Vivian Vance and William Frawley, to be called (what else?) "Fred and Ethel". **VV ABSOLUTELY REFUSED!!** She said, in so many words, "I have worked with this SOB for the last time!" Thus, WF was his own worst enemy, as is true with so many people...
Enjoy the heck out of your videos, Jerry. I know they must take a lot of time and effort to put together. I know I speak for many of us out here in TH-cam land. Keep 'em coming and with best of luck in your pursuit of others.
So Lucy wa the First Lady to own a film studio, so smart of her. I read somewhere if it wasn't for her we would not have Star Trek. She gave the OK to film that in her studios. By the way I love your narration. You have a great voice and tell I great story. Great job. .
One of my fondest memories from childhood is hearing my mother howling with laughter at the I Love Lucy show. Now she's laughing with Lucy in heaven. Very nice vid and thanks for the memories.

Off camera however, Miss Ball was very stressed and uptight because she was starring on a new hit series and running Desilu Studios at the same time. Anyone would be under a ton of stress. She was the most powerful woman in Hollywood back then. But she still made us laugh! Thats all she wanted.
Star Trek …. Great show.it’s a shame the stars are all starting to age as I am. I still watch as least 5 shows a week. It doesn’t get any better. Rest in. Peace to the few we have left. Thank you for all the great moment
People don't realize what a smart businesswoman Lucy was & how much influence she had beyond her own shows. They just think of her as a comedienne.
Those first 2-3 seasons also had the same writers as I Love Lucy. Lucy & Viv were fantastic together, of course. I loved the premise. They were Kate & Allie 25 years before Kate & Allie. I didn't think the show was nearly as funny in S4-S6, when Lucy moved to L.A. & worked as Mr. Mooney's secretary & lived in an apartment. Viv was gone, the kids were gone, & the writers were gone. It was an entirely different show.
@@DonnaBrooks I actually enjoyed The Lucy Show better in the last 3 seasons.

MR. JERRY SKINNER, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VERY INFORMATIVE POST. I MUST ALSO, COMMEND YOU ON YOUR RESEARCH. AS, WELL AS ON YOUR PHOTO ARCHIVAL COLLECTION, AWESOME JOB!!
This is an amazing! So much information. You must have done a lot of research, or maybe you're a super fan. Either way great job! I love, I love Lucy. 🤗
Wonderful tribute to these fabulous actors - I appreciate all the details of their lives - thx so much for posting - cheers from Canada
This was very interesting! Thanks so much for making it and sharing it : )
Thanks so much for watching it Brad. Jerry
The Lucy Show and I Love Lucy are my all time favorite t.v. shows!!! I can never get enough. I've always loved her and all the characters!!!!
I probably wrote this already on another comment, but I only really got into Lucy last year after I started watching Mission: Impossible, and found out she green lit the project, and Star Trek, even though both shows were making a huge financial loss, she kept those going for many seasons. After finding out that she made these shows possible, I went back and watched many of her wonderful screwy B&W movies, and found so much fun in those that I kept watching them. I think I heard she was good friends with Ginger Rogers, and they were in the same acting school, and became friends. Dont know if I remember this correctly but it would account for their similar comedy timing and funny faces. I've never seen one episode of I Love Lucy, but yes she pioneered the camera and studio techniques that TV shows use to this day. What a marvelous lady! Thank you for this timely documentary and insight into the lives of all those who made this happen. It seems her impact on Television is second only to Hedy Lamarr, who invented mobile technology, GPS and WiFi.
+LemonTubeAmiga Thank you Lemon. Jerry
I enjoyed this video so much!!! My dad use to call me " Parner" as well. My Father was a Thoughorbred Jockey in the tos and rode horses of Desi's. " Laughter". Thank you again.
I wish Vivian Vance got more recognition in the industry. She had such a wild life, just wish I knew more.
Yes, I loved Vivian Vancouver and William Frawley.
Everyone took a back seat to Lucy, who honestly, was the least talented among them.
Warren Lightning Vance
You should Google her Aren Surik
EF ANDMK no Lucy is the star ☺️
Thank you! I liked the show in reruns as a kid, but really like them even more now. NIce narration! Keep it up.
Jerry you have a beautiful voice, but I have a question, are you going to do one on the 70's show "Good Times"? My reasoning, is because the cast of that show is very unique, in that everybody from that cast except Ester Rolle is amazingly STILL alive. No other show from that long ago can say that. From John Amos, Jimmie Walker, Janet Dubois, Janet Jackson, the janitor(I forget his real name), and even the woman that played Janet Jackson's abusive mother that daughter later in life became a famous actress herself. Seems nobody has done a story on such a unique TV show where the entire cast is still alive from so very long ago....
Thank you James for suggesting it. I will take a look, sounds interesting. Jerry
The janitor was bookman ❤️
Rest in peace Janet dubois 🙏🙏
Thank you for this beautiful biography, I love her to this day and celebrate her birthday every year . I cried when she passed because she brought so much love and happiness to so many people. . God bless you for this I am sure she would be so proud of it .
Star Trek was developed at Desilu Studios before Paramont bought Desilu.
Keith Treudau played Ricky Ricardo Jr before Desi and Lucys son took over. Treudau went on to play in the rock band David And The Giants.
Thanks for taking time to do this video.
Again, just a great job Mr. Skinner! You were made for this type of needed entertainment! Your voice, your skills, your aspiration makes you a great nonfiction storyteller.
I love the I love lucy show. she is literally my favorite actress, I never knew any of this and always wanted to know more thank you so much!
I like I love Lucy not the Lucy show
Well done. They are still part of my favorite memories of TV shows. Thank you
Lucy and Ricky were wonderful and so funny.
Fred and Ethel hated each other in real life.
In fact, their hatred is legendary.
However, they clicked on screen.
Anyway, we all know where the cast is now, but they will live forever in our hearts.
God bless them.

I've always heard that Lucy & Desi planned one of the first spin-offs in TV history, starring Vivian Vance and William Frawley, to be called (what else?) "Fred and Ethel". **VV ABSOLUTELY REFUSED!!** She said, in so many words, "I have worked with this SOB for the last time!" Thus, WF was his own worst enemy, as is true with so many people...
well aunt bee hated all on the Andy Griffith show
Enjoy the heck out of your videos, Jerry. I know they must take a lot of time and effort to put together. I know I speak for many of us out here in TH-cam land. Keep 'em coming and with best of luck in your pursuit of others.
This was wonderful, my childhood heroes... all four of them!! Thank you!
Thank you Susanna for watching it. Jerry

So Lucy wa the First Lady to own a film studio, so smart of her. I read somewhere if it wasn't for her we would not have Star Trek. She gave the OK to film that in her studios. By the way I love your narration. You have a great voice and tell I great story. Great job. .

May they all rest in peace.....wonderful time for comedy in the 50's, today's comedies couldn't hold a candle to these great shows with great writers
